Per our institutional mission and Principle of Community, Dartmouth is committed to providing a safe and inclusive environment for our students, faculty and staff. As part of this commitment, Dartmouth joined the second cohort of the Hazing Prevention Consortium to improve hazing prevention efforts within the Dartmouth community.

Hazing Prevention Consortium and Dartmouth Coalition

• Hazing Prevention Consortium (HPC): a multi-year research-to-practice initiative led by StopHazing to build an evidence base for hazing prevention on college campuses in the U.S. and beyond. Dartmouth is part of the second HPC cohort.
   
• Dartmouth Hazing Prevention Coalition (D-HPC): a cross-campus coalition of Dartmouth students and employees formed to build capacity, action, and sustainability around hazing prevention.
   
  • D-HPC members include additional representatives from: varsity athletics, Physical Education & Recreation, Center for Professional Development, Undergraduate Deans Office, Health Services, Residential Life, Outdoor Programs Office, Sexual Violence Prevention Project, Department of Safety & Security, Office of Institutional Research, and student representatives from a variety of class years.
     
  • D-HPC Core Team
    • Caitlin Barthelmes, Director of the Student Wellness Center and chair of the D-HPC
    • Anna Hall, Director of Student Involvement
    • Adam Knowlton-Young, Assistant Director of the Office of Community Standards and Accountability
    • Brian Bowden, Lead Counselor for BASICS program at the Student Wellness Center
    • Stephan Gonzalez, Assistant Athletic Director for Leadership and Mental Performance

Alcohol Management Program

• The Alcohol Management Program (AMP) provides guidance for those events where alcohol is served. Its success depends upon the cooperative efforts of students, faculty, administration and alumni in both understanding and upholding the spirit of personal responsibility and respect for self and others that is embodied in these procedures.

Sexual Violence Prevention Project (SVPP)

• As part of President Hanlon's Moving Dartmouth Forward (MDF) plan, the SVPP aims to reduce violence on Dartmouth's campus through a four-year prevention and education experience that builds skills to (1) use resources and support others in doing so (2) develop positive relationships and have positive sexual experiences (3) engage respectfully across difference and (4) intervene to prevent harm.

Reporting

Make a report about hazing. Please see the Dartmouth Hazing Policy for further information on expectations of College employees and students to report hazing behaviors, as well as information on individual student immunity for reporting, and Fresh Start Organizational Amnesty Policy.

SOAP

As part of the Student Organization Accountability Program, all Dartmouth student organizations are reviewed once every four years on their contributions to the campus community. Part of this process includes making revisions to constitutions to include the hazing policy.
